  Dative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dative case is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whom something is given.
In this case, the noun or pronoun's case is determined by the preposition, NOT by its function in the sentence.
Here, the subject, Ich, is in the nominative case; the direct object, das Buch, is in the accusative case, and zum Kassierer is in the dative case, since zu always requires the dative.

This declension (case) indicates a change in state of a noun, with the general sense of becoming X or change to X. In the Finnish language, this is the counterpart of the Essive case, with the basic meaning of a change of state.

 Nominative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The nominative case is a grammatical case for a noun, which generally marks the subject of a verb (as opposed to its object or other verb arguments).
The nominative case is the usual, natural form (more technically, the least marked) of certain parts of speech, such as nouns, adjectives, pronouns and less frequently numerals and participles, and sometimes does not indicate any special relationship with other parts of speech.
Therefore, in some languages the nominative case is unmarked, that is, the nominative word is the base form or stem, with no inflection; alternatively, it may said to be marked by a null morpheme.

 Wikipedia: Declension
The case does not depend on whether a verb is used in a transitive or intransitive form.
The trigger may be identified as the agent, patient, etc. Other nouns may be inflected for case, but the inflections are overloaded; for example, in Tagalog, the subject and object of a verb are both expressed in the genitive case when they are not in the trigger case.
Positional: Nouns are not inflected for case; the position of a noun in the sentence expresses its case.

Cases are narrative accounts of actual, or realistic, situations in which policy makers are confronted with the need to make a decision.
Case method teaching--the use of such cases in the classroom--is a form of discussion teaching in which students prepare a case, either individually or in groups, and then seek collectively through in-class discussion to discover a solution to the problem presented by the case.
Unlike problem sets and papers, case method teaching is a group enterprise in which the emphasis is on self-discovery by the class, working together with the guidance of the instructor.

We investigate the convergence properties of the self-organizing feature map algorithm for a simple, but very instructive case: the formation of a topographic representation of the unit interval [0, 1] by a linear chain of neurons.
We extend the proofs of convergence of Kohonen and of Cottrell and Fort to hold in any case where the neighborhood function, which is used to scale the change in the weight values at each neuron, is a monotonically decreasing function of distance from the winner neuron.
We derive the correct potential functions for the one- and multi-dimensional case, and show that the energy functions given by Tolat (1990) are an approximation which is no longer valid in the case of highly disordered maps or steep neighborhood functions.

 Prodromou Lecture
In this sense, the Greek case is instructive as a chapter in the broader EU story about how to define modernity with regard to the role of religion in public life, the impacts of religion on democracy, and the bedrock question of the constitutional relationship between state and religion.
In any case, as the strategic landscape in Europe has been re-shaped by the Balkan wars of the last decade, Greece, like other EU member-states, has witnessed a change in is religious profile, with impacts on debates about the criteria for citizenship.
Taken as a whole, then, it is possible to advance a credible claim that Greece is an unexceptional case, and yet a very instructive case, for exploring how the constitutional relationship between religion and state is affecting the democratic project in a Greater Europe whose boundaries extend well beyond the current EU member-states.

The essence of the Mickles' case was that the mother "was deprived of her opportunity to choose abortion, which would have resulted in Sarah not being born," Justice Zuber noted.

 "Critical Comments on Rationality and Power"
Flyvbjerg's theory implies that his own rational knowledge of the case is altogether bound up with power, even as he claims to expose (to provide us in turn with the rational knowledge of) the deceptions, power-plays, and “dark side” of this planning case through the rational knowledge he has presented.
If, as I am tempted to believe, his case study is accurate (relatively “true” rather than phony), then we should prize the (rational) knowledge of its story, and we should therefore be suspicious of the over-generalization and vagueness of his theoretical “propositions” that lead us to suspect his (rational) case study.
The case is lucid, vivid, and instructive; the theory is far less compelling.

Case Reports will now be referred to as 'Case Notes' and will be published in a new section of the Journal entitled 'Editorial Correspondence'.
Case Notes should be no more than 1000 words in length, with no more than two figures or tables, and a maximum of eight references.
In general, submission of Instructive Cases and Case Notes should be accompanied by the written consent of the subject (or parent/guardian) prior to publication; this is particularly important where photographs are to be used or in cases where the unique nature of the incident reported makes it possible for the patient to be identified.
